The yellow panel on the runway shld indicate the heading.

It's boring enough that we can't set our compass that way to make tht remark. Nice pic (but why a N.cross ?)

N.cross? What's that?

Lol, that figure on the fuselage looks almost like homer simpson ...

Extremely beautiful screenshots...

I am just sad to see Avenches (which was a very important place for swiss aviation, indeed) still in use in 1939/40...It closed in 1921, in favor of Payerne.

Oh come on, its a typical easter egg and done in a minute texture wise. If that is your greatest critique in regards to the devs then I really want to have your problems.

Yes I know I was flying a Spit that had both wings ripped off and it just kept a flying, lol. All FM's serious need of rework, or work.

Come on Rodolphe,the 109s are fantastic.
Are they for d/l stop teezing :)

What a great little IL2 movie based on these brave men defending Malta. I wonder if I still have it on disc?

Here you go.

True,ashame there are many more unwanted "easter eggs".............i would think you implant them after you tested the game for flaws?

Funnily enough, I don't think texture artists would be any good at fixing flightmodels or performace issues :rolleyes:

Rodolphe, your skins are awesome. It would be even more awesome if you could upload them somewhere for others to download them :)

Download links!!!???!!??!!!???!!!

my first thoughts about these: "Please tell me that´s not real" HAHAHA....:grin:

I know what you mean. Dores really hit on something there with that combination of colour and composition.

I like the way he kept the planes largely silhouetted and at a believable distance from the camera. I have no idea what he did with the colours though. The first picture looks like it's got some kind of accidentally-overexposed-film-type effect on the left and right, and the second looks like it might have a camera-lens vignetting effect, while both are slightly blurred and seem to have an old film-stock quality to the colours. To my eyes they're excellent examples of how post-processing effects can be used to create a more believable illusion of realism.

Not forgetting of course that these images are also built upon the work of the artists at Maddox Games, who provided the base assets that we then get to manipulate and play with.

Nice action shots timej31. Couldn't help but have a play with them though.:grin:

http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/3...styediteds.png

I did a few variations, but this one's my favourite. I like the way the distant water looks with the increased darkness and contrast, and how it makes it look like the Spitfire pilot could be looking up straight up into the camera. Thanks for the images, it was fun messing around with them.

Just thought I'd bump the thread by posting this picture by timej31 that I messed around with and which was also posted here - http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...=19702&page=18

http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/3...styediteds.png

Not that this is the best example, but I'm still impressed by how screenshots of this game can be made to look.

Cool Les!

Can you believe we didn't hit? That was very close you can even see the guy in the Spit really needs dental work.

Lol, close indeed, sure does look like your wings were going to connect. The on-screen text says your undercarriage was damaged, did you manage to get back to base and survive the mission?

Hey, the 4th picture was taken by me, and it's my personal Spitfire QJ-G with "Stardust" written under the canopy. :rolleyes:

no I had to bail but he broke off about 5 minutes before i bailed because there were 2 other 109's that showed up then another 2 reds. That 109 pitched a tent on my 6 and had a pretty good time back there but that photo was my last attempt to shake him and get a shot on him but he already filled the 109 full of lead. Actually he was the 2nd one to do so but the most persistent.

I ended up getting 1 but don't know who or how there were several in the area and I was busier than a one armed man hanging wallpaper.

As a graphic artist i have to say changing the proper aspect ratio of a picture is a nogo... But tastes differ from each other:)
Winger

Thanks for that timej31, is nice to know the story behind the picture.

Thanks too Winger for reminding me how lucky I am to not be constrained by convention.

I like leaving the hud up, gives you a more "alive" less staged feel to it... like the screenshot is a spur of the moment... i guess to show its something i do normally instead of just to get a good picture...

Sorry :)

Some screens 1

Some screens 2. Trees

Are they also fruit trees (specifically, apple trees) available? I am also dreaming of a kind of parametric forest/wood/copse object: we desperately missing this, as we cannot compensate by gathering individual trees to create them, however beautiful these trees may be!
This would be I believe the only way to save on individual tree numbers, and would allow a far better use of those...orchards, for instance, which were ubiquitous and very typical in France in these times!

JVM

As much as I like the trees. But I think the tree's barks are way too bright, too greyish. They look like dead dry wood.

With all those bucolic landscape what we need now is the local farmer'daughter to be modeled as the new character :rolleyes:

They are a bit light, but I'm glad they are using grey for the trunks, it looks more natural to me than brown.

Thanks podvoxx.

I am still waiting for a rich mistress to turn up with a new computer for me, so any screenies showing the game's potential are very welcome.

Mission in attache.

I guess the real issue the engine has is that it doesn't contrast the shadow enough. The sunny side is perfectly good I believe (the bark) but yeah, the shadowy side should be a tad darker. The picture above is way too contrasted though. The whites drop off sharp because of very strong over saturation. It's a bad picture that elimitates about 15-25% of the real spectrum.
See this? This is a representation of the spectrum of the picture you posted: http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/7749/curvesil2.png

Great screens podvoxx, thanks for sharing:grin:

i sweer it looked like a 109 from six :-P

god's teeth?

Are these pics digitally enhanced afterwards? I'm questioning because they look so good and the edges are very very smooth - no aliasing at all. Or is the reason your gfx card?

Thx in advance!
StG2 Winni

They appear to have been shrunk in photoshop, so that would take care of the "jaggies" along the edges.

That landscape looks like a washed out pastel drawing? What happened to the "Green and pleasant land"?

Nice pic though, looks like a painting ;)

MP

Probably uses the new FSAA which has options to tune color to your liking as well.

Photoshop! :)

Interesting, when you apply auto color and auto contrast, it will ALWAYS increase the contrast and make the picture less greenish. Food for thought for the devs, when working on the new gfx engine.

I find that to get that sort of quality in your screen shot then you really need your game video settings at the absolute highest. Perhaps do a session specifically for taking shots if you get too low fps or stutters for a combat missions. Another thing I like to do is if you think you are in a good scenerio for a shot then hit the pause button first - only works offline of course. Then you can play around with camera angles, FOV, zoom in or out etc. to your hearts content. Like real life photography a good shot can take a lot of setting up and thought rather that just hitting print screen and hoping for the best.

AHHHH great screens guys. I really cannot wait for the next patch to fix the crashissues and to come back to CloD. Hopefully by then end of this week - maybe?

Winger

Love the Stuka shot, and the damaged 110's with one wheel hanging down!

Thanks guys

Some really nice pics, wish I have a GPU that could handle it on this settings.

Talking about the wheel hanging down.... was it a common issue for aircrafts to release parts of the gear due to damage? I'm feeling that this happens very often during my play as well.... just out of curiosity

Just look at those screens guys. I think the community has become a little blasé about what we're being offered with respect to CloD. The potential of this product is truly enormous. Just imagine when it's perfected and technology catches up a little.

Personally I'm willing to wait as long as it takes. I know the current state of affairs is frustrating but we really can't afford to shun the developers at this critical stage and risk the future of this remarkable series.

Great screenshots everyone. Thanks.

'The Old Bell' is a great name for a pub. I'm glad they didn't go for the obvious ones (King's Arms etc.)

So true.

Yes very common. It is what happens when the Hydraulic pressure/fuel lines are severed. You lose pressure and the gear/flaps etc can't be used or sometimes even lower because pressure keeps them in the Up position.

Most notable on most aircraft when they lose engine power, there is therefore no Hydraulic pressure and landing gear/flaps cannot be used.

Or even on the Spitfire, which had hydraulic prop pitch and landing gear. Which is why there is a compressed air tank in the cockpit for emergency lowering of the undercarriage.

A mod was made for IL-2 1946 which simulates this. At the start of the video is some gun cam footage showing failing hydraulics:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvlG9fY9g2Q

+1. My thoughts as well.

The last one is OUTSTANDING! Really good.

Beautiful...but you have to know the hangars in the background were never installed that way...In the boB area of the game, three places only had such hangars...in a very different configuration.

But OK, you do with what you have...for now!
